Song: Put It Into Motion

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Really catchy tune!! Grabs the listener from the first second! The arrangement/production sound tops to me. THe hook is so strong….you hear it immediately…could hum this song after one minute of listening. Great inspirational feeling!!

Constructive Comments: This song works great for me. I cannot think of anything I would change. If I were a film maker, I would put it in an inspiring scene….series of images running. I think you did everything right on this! Good luck with it! Take care. Greg

Reviewer: Marilyn Hall

Positive Comments: The song has a blues quality to it. I like the lyric and the mood of the song.

Constructive Comments: I’m not sure that this is a pop song.

Broadjam Artist: David James
Song: Culture (acoustic version)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: I love the message!! I pretty much feel the same way. I’m 62, and am so glad I grew up when I did….the music, the art, the thoughtful conversation, the enjoyment of community and neighbors. I think you did a great job of expressing this in this song. Your vocal is very heartfelt and the arrangement works well.

Constructive Comments: I don’t imagine this is very commercial but then most of my favorite songs aren’t. I think you have tapped into something really good in an effective way. The delivery is appropriate and works great for me. Nicely done!! Take care. Greg

Song: Shelter In Your Lovin’ Arms (Folk Prod. – Christmas/Holiday)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This is a beautiful song!! It reminds me of the great stuff I listened to in the 70’s, my favorite era. I don’t know if it has commercial appeal to day, but I struggle with what flies these days. The vocal performance and tone is beautiful, and the lyrics are deep and creative.

Constructive Comments: The format is a bit different, and the way you wrote the lyric sheet is unconventional, since it doesn’t follow the listening sequence but I caught onto it. The song, to me, is a bit different in structure, but then many of my favorites are. I think is is beautifully done in every way. Congrats a a great piece of work!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Jeff Ashbaker
Song: Like the Love in I Love You

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Song has a really nice feel, and some good lyrics….I particularly like the second verse. The guitar player is excellent, and reminds me of DIre Straits. Recording is strong and arrangement is pretty much what the song needs.

Constructive Comments: This is a strong song. The style of the mix/arrangement seems a bit like the older days to me, but then those were the days of music that I love. Overall, this is really good work. Nicely done!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: Pete Papageorge
Song: BRIDGE OF ROSES

Reviewer: Margie & Art Corey

Positive Comments: Not sure if this is Folk or Country, might work in both genres? Could play nicely in a scene in a film. Has a genuine honest feel, very believable and heart felt! Good Job, maybe one more additional instrument might make the composition even stronger, worth a try! All & all a very nice piece of music!! Grand Job!!

Constructive Comments: Maybe the addition of one more instrument might complete the tune…just a thought! Still a very fine song!!!

Broadjam Artist: Sonic
Song: Summer Magic

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: This sounds like a hit to me!!! THe arrangement is tops, the vocal is killer, the mixing and production sound totally pro. The song is just so darn easy to appreciated. Very catchy! Would make a great film song….feel and lyric/emotional feel.

Constructive Comments: I would love to tell you what you could improve but to my ears, cannot help you there. This is pure fun ear candy!! Great job on the whole enchilada!!! Take care. Greg

Broadjam Artist: MGB
Song: VICTORY (instrumental)

Reviewer: Greg Johnson

Positive Comments: Really exciting orchestral sound at the opening!! Arrangement works really well…builds nicely with the other horns coming in. Maybe could go a bit further? Sounds like something that could be played at a military celebration or commencement!

Constructive Comments: It seems to me that there could be more reverb on the track….drums are maybe too present? And maybe the drums could vary more in the accent? This sounds like a niche song for a select circumstance. I think it is an excellent composition! Great job! Take care. Greg
